In Rongxi Hall——
As soon as Jia Heng's words came out, the entire Rongxi Hall, including gentlemen such as Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Rong, and even Sister Feng and Li Wan, all felt a sudden shock in their hearts.
There was a vague feeling of something bad.
Although I don’t know what the young man will say next, I have a strong intuition that I can’t let him speak!
Absolutely not!
Jia Heng looked stern at this moment, and felt a burning fire in his chest.
He didn't care about the so-called Jia clan's membership. When the house was ransacked, he was afraid of being implicated!
But his reputation cannot be ruined here!
Otherwise, even if it is to clear his reputation, it will take a lot of effort on his part.
But after today, even if he is expelled from the Jia clan, he will not complain. If he makes great achievements, whether it is the Jia clan that suppresses the common branch, or whether the common branch is ashamed to associate with the direct clan for the glory of the ancestors, people's hearts will have their own opinions!
Let's go back in time a little, but it is said that before Jia Heng entered the mansion, Baoyu and Daiyu visited Tanchun. Today, Tanchun was the host and invited Yingchun, Bao, Dai, and Xichun to appreciate calligraphy, but it was Tanchun. I borrowed a calligraphy and painting by Zhao Mengfu from Mrs. Wang.
As for Zhao Mengfu's copybook, after Wang Ziteng was promoted to the governor of the nine provinces, some military generals who attached to him searched for it and presented it to him.
When Mrs. Wang passed away last time, Wang Ziteng personally brought her as a congratulatory gift.
Previously, when Tanchun paid a visit to Mrs. Wang's room, he was fascinated by calligraphy and painting. Mrs. Wang asked Tanchun to take it over and appreciate it.
Baoyu is dressed in two-color gold and red arrow sleeves with hundreds of butterflies pierced with flowers. He wears a purple gold crown with hair tied with jewels. He has two dragons playing with pearls on his eyebrows and a gold smear on his forehead. On his head is a gold jade necklace, and there is a five-color silk sash tied around it. A piece of beautiful jade, it is a handsome young master. He took a cup of fragrant tea from Tanchun's personal maid and said with a smile: "Zhao Zi'ang's calligraphy style is charming and elegant, the writing style is mature, and the structure is dignified. The third sister has previously said Is it because of his words?"
Tan Chun wore a crimson gauze pomegranate skirt, a jade hairpin on her head, and air bangs on her forehead. There was a dash of elegance between her eyebrows. This woman had beautiful eyes and eyebrows. If she wasn't smiling, she would look a bit cold and seductive. Yiyun, after hearing this, her eyes were slightly surprised, and she chuckled: "Second brother, your name is also Taoist Songxue?"
Daiyu on the side wears a lily-colored skirt embroidered with red maple leaves. Her shoulders appear to be cut and her waist is as plain as usual. On her delicate, white face, the two curves of her face look like a frown but not a frown. Under the smoky eyebrows, there is a hint of autumn water. His eyes were filled with tears. Hearing this, he held a fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Your second brother, he reads a few books of all kinds. He may have read these from somewhere. He has never seen Zhao Ziang's words." "
Being teased by Daiyu, Baoyu also smiled and said: "This is the comment of future generations. I have never read Zhao Ziang's words."
Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, Baoyu has been relieved of the trouble of "going to school" by Jia's mother. In the past few days, the sisters have been writing poems and guessing word puzzles, and Baoyu has quite liked it.
At this moment, Mingyan said from outside: "Second Master Bao, over at Rongxi Hall, Uncle Heng is here."
"Uncle Heng?" Tan Chun put down the brush in his hand and looked at Baoyu in surprise.
Xichun on the side also broke away from the pictures of pine cranes and pagodas and looked at Tanchun.
Baoyu shook his head and said: "I heard from the mandarin ducks in the ancestor's house this morning that the first and second masters came to Rongxi Hall to ask about Uncle Heng in Liutiao'er Hutong, who said he was Zhen from Dongfu. The eldest brother wanted to steal his new wife, but he sent her to prison."
Obviously, with Baoyu's knowledge, he did not know the seriousness of this.
Xichun frowned and said, "Reported to the official position? Why did you report to the official position?"
Even though she didn't have much affection for the half-brother in Dongfu, Xichun felt a bit sad and curious when she suddenly heard the "bad news".
There was a hint of doubt in Tanchun's apricot eyes, and her beautiful face changed slightly, and she said, "Didn't the old lady say last time that there should be no more trouble? Why is it that the government is so troubled now?"
Baoyu said: "I don't know the details. I'll go over and have a look later."
The Hall of Rongxi is where the gentlemen of the Jia family hold meetings, and Mr. Zheng is in the Hall of Rongxi. Baoyu initially wanted to see what was going on, but he did not dare to go straight into the Hall of Rongxi.
A trace of thought appeared in Tanchun Yingxiu's beautiful eyebrows, and she said softly: "Second brother, let's go and take a look."
Last time, the "Uncle Heng" from the back street of Rongqing Hall left a deep impression on her. He was actually very different from the second brother Lian and the second brother Bao in the two mansions.
Daiyu put down her round fan, and a trace of emotion flashed in her bright eyes. She was clearly thinking of the "lonely" Uncle Heng. She just raised her eyes, glanced at Baoyu, and said softly: "Don't let your uncle know." .”
"It's okay to hide behind the bead curtain." Tan Chun said in a clear voice.
Originally, the few children in the boudoir had nothing to do, and with Jia Zhen being sent to the government, the matter sounded serious, and I wanted to find out the whole story.
Wearing a pink pomegranate skirt, Yingchun, who is slightly plump, has a fair complexion, and has a gentle and quiet temperament. She is arranging chess pieces on a chess floor with her maid Siqi. When she sees a few people wanting to leave, she asks: "Where are you going? ?”
Without waiting for Tanchun to answer, Siqi on the side said: "Girl, Third Miss and Miss Lin are planning to go to Rongxi Hall to have a look. I heard that something happened to Uncle Zhen in Dongfu."
Yingchun said in surprise: "Brother Zhen? I'll go take a look too."
Suddenly, sisters Bao, Dai, Ying, Tan, and Xi all came towards Rongxi Hall.
When a few people arrived, they held their breath and hid behind the bead curtain, when they happened to hear a clear and exciting voice in the Rongxi Hall.
"This is the Hall of Rongxi. The heroic spirit of Duke Rong is watching over you!"
These words were as shocking as a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, causing a turbulent wave.
Tanchun's delicate body trembled slightly, a dull look appeared on her pretty face, and her big bright and heroic eyes stared at the young man in green shirt who stood tall and looked around.
"Si Xianrong served as a soldier for half his life, following Taizu and Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty, expelling foreign tribes and rebuilding China. His outstanding military exploits will be remembered forever in history. The brilliance of his heroic spirit will shine on future generations. The ancestors of the Jia family can only see blue wisps on the road and enjoy the breeze. It is only because of rain that we have such a prosperous family business. Recalling the difficulties in starting a business in the past, every step was difficult. Thinking about it to this day, it still makes future generations admire and reflect on it."
"However, there are unfilial descendants like Jia Zhen. At a time when the country is troubled, with internal and external troubles, they eat the emperor's salary and do not want to repay the emperor's father and inherit the shadow of their ancestors. They cannot light up the lintel. Instead, they look forward to causing trouble and colluding with thieves and bandits. , under the emperor's palace, he carried out ruthless soldiers to do evil and murder his relatives! Such a person without a king and a father, tied to an official by Heng, set the right rules and regulations, what's wrong with that?!"
"But the eldest son of Rongguo, who is a first-class general of our great Han Dynasty, still speaks out and defends us. He does not distinguish between right and wrong, and calls a deer a horse. In this Hall of Honor and Jubilee, the heroes and spirits of Rongguo are clearly understood, standing around. Seeing this unworthy descendant, he shed tears without hesitation. Huangquan, shamed by Jiuyou!"
"You... children are talking nonsense, vicious dogs are barking..." Jia She's face was pale, and his cheeks were slightly flushed. He felt furious and his eyes were dizzy.
A kid with a yellow mouth scolded him for bringing shame on his ancestors in the name of the heroic spirit of his ancestors. Ah, ah, he wanted to kill this kid with a yellow mouth!
Someone is coming, someone is coming...
Mother Jia's body was trembling, her face was green and red, and she felt dizzy. She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but found that she couldn't say a word.
Li Wan, Yuanyang and Sister Feng quickly reached out and rubbed their backs.
Jia Lian's face was already earthy, as if he were mourning for an heir, while Jia Rong's face was indifferent. He was still young, so it was not him he was scolding!
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing both looked at the young man angrily.
Only Jia Zheng sighed, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and his father Zheng watched what happened...but he did.
Tan Chun, who was behind the bead curtain, had an abnormal flush on her jade face, and her heroic and bright eyes were full of splendor, making her heart tremble.
But Baoyu frowned, looking at the young man in green clothes with displeasure, and there was a faint feeling in his heart that he had also been scolded.
The bright autumn eyes under Lin Daiyu's smoky eyebrows were as full as water. She blinked suddenly. She looked at the young man standing with his sword in his hand, and he didn't know what emotions were floating in his heart.
How could there be such a decisive and decisive person in the world?
She originally thought that the famous ministers and strategists recorded in ancient history were resolute and decisive when they were young, but this was just an exaggeration and attachment by later generations.
However, the "Uncle Heng" we see now seems to have come alive from the historical texts.
Jia She's face was ashen, and because he was too angry, his voice was trembling, and he said: "Mother, please remove Jia Heng's family membership!"
